The Unsinkable Boat

In hydraulics, we have learned that any object that has less density than water will
eventually float but in reciprocal it will sink. On the other hand, In the boat, the same
principle will be adopted in such a way that when any boat displaces a weight of water
equal to its own weight, it floats. This is often called the "principle of flotation": A floating
object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight. Every ship, submarine, and
dirigible must be designed to displace a weight of fluid at least equal to its own weight.
In relation to my topic, does an unsinkable boat also follow the same principle as a
regular boat does? During the sinking of the famous Titanic ship, it is allegedly claimed
as unsinkable because of its modern mechanism and well-known architectural design.
But as the unfortunate event occurred, eventually it was only propaganda to persuades
customers with its services. After I have discussed the titanic ship, I figured out that no
ship can be unsinkable unless it is a boat. Only small objects can be unsinkable as of
the moment that my research is written. To further discuss how a boat is made to be
unsinkable and what devices and machines are used to make those happened, the
information is list down below.
How a boat is made to be unsinkable?
According to Boats.com, six factors come into play when attempting to build an
“unsinkable” marine vehicle: 1) The rate at which water enters or “flooding rate.” 2) The
rate at which water exits or “pumping rate.” 3) Creating watertight bulkheads or
compartments that will remain buoyant even though other bulkheads or compartments
flood. 4) Build foam flotations into the core or add them to areas of the boat’s dead
space. 5) Place float bags in compartments that can be remotely inflated using CO2. 6)
The boat’s margin lines, which are critical points at which it will no longer float.
If you want a real-life example of an unsinkable boat design, you need to look no further
than a lifeboat or life raft. After all, lifeboats are mandatory for ships of certain sizes,
with larger lifeboats required depending on the number of passengers or crew expected
to be on board. Governments and shipowners have long trusted lifeboats to be sturdy,
difficult to capsize, capable of being fully loaded with equipment and/or people, and
even inherently capable of self-righting if it capsizes. This is according to international
regulations governing the production of lifeboats and life rafts as per rules.dnvgl.com.
The mechanism used to build an unsinkable boat is relatively similar to other regular
boats because of the 20 feet regulation whereas boats under 20 feet long are mandated
to be unsinkable by law. The Coast Guard and Congress mandate flotation standards
since these boats may be so much more likely to sink relatively easily.
